1st Test, India tour of Australia 2018, Watch Ind v Aus Cricket highlights today – First test day one from Adelaide Oval (Australia) Thursday 6th December 2018. Adelaide’s previous three Tests have been day-nighters, but India didn’t fancy one of those on this tour so it’s the ground’s first traditional Test match since 2014 when these two sides last met. The surface looked dry the day before the match and there is hot weather predicted for the first day, then warm, sunny conditions throughout so spin could be a factor.

India have ditched their five-bowler policy and named only four frontline bowlers in their XII – the pace trio of Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah to be complemented by R Ashwin’s off-spin. The only point that is uncertain is who will bat at No.6, with both Rohit Sharma and Hanuma Vihari named in the XII. Mitchell Marsh has been dropped in favour of frontline batsman Peter Handscomb, while Marcus Harris is confirmed for a debut opening the batting. That will be alongside Aaron Finch, with Usman Khawaja taking the No. 3 spot.
